Aller/Getty ImagesAccording to a report for NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Detroit Lions will work out two quarterbacks on Saturday. Former Buccaneers passer Josh Johnson and former Steelers draft pick Landry Jones will visit Allen Park in the hopes of landing on the Lions’ 90-man roster and potentially beyond.The Lions are looking for quarterback help after backup quarterback Tom Savage suffered an injury in the team’s preseason opener against the New England Patriots on Thursday night. It appeared Savage’s head hit the turf after being sacked in the first quarter, and he immediately went into the locker room and did not return.Landry Jones spent four years with the Steelers, appearing in 18 games with five starts. For his NFL career, he’s completed 63.9 percent of his passes for eight touchdowns http://www.lionslockerroom.com/authentic-tavon-wilson-jersey , seven interceptions and a passer rating of 86.2. He was most recently released from the Raiders in May after spending just two months with the squad.As for Josh Johnson, the 33-year-old quarterback has been the definition of a journeyman since entering the league as a fifth-round pick for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Though he has spent time on nine different NFL teams, he has only started eight total games. For his career, he’s completed just 55.2 percent of his snaps for eight touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Last year, Johnson started three games for Washington. As a total, Johnson went 52-for-91 for 590 yards, three touchdowns Jalen Reeves-Maybin Jersey White , and four interceptions. He went 1-2 as a starter in 2018.There’s a good chance the Lions will add one of the two players, if for no other reason than to take reps in training camp while Savage recovers from his injury. We’ll see if Savage’s injury is long-term or if these visits are simply a solution to short-term problem. A year ago the Lions released tight end Eric Ebron, tried to trade for tight end Rob Gronkowski, and ended up with almost no production at all from the tight end position. This year they want to get better.Lions General Manager Bob Quinn said told season-ticket holders that 鈥渢he tight end position is definitely a priority for us鈥?to upgrade this offseason.鈥淭his is a position of need,鈥?Quinn said, via the . 鈥淲e know that.鈥滾ast year the Lions’ tight ends totaled just 45 catches, ranking 31st in the NFL. The top two tight ends on the team Womens Quandre Diggs Jersey , Levine Toilolo with 21 catches and Luke Wilson with 13 catches, are both set to become free agents in March.Quinn hinted that the Lions could be looking at a tight end in the first round of the draft, where Detroit has the eighth overall pick. The last time the Lions used a high first-round pick on a tight end it was Ebron, who disappointed in Detroit but then flourished in Indianapolis last year. That might make some Lions fans skittish about taking a top tight end again, but Quinn sounds like he may do it.
